Church of San Tommaso, Gothic church in Pavia, Italy.

The Church of San Tommaso features a white marble rose window on its facade and contains two remaining naves divided by cylindrical brick pillars.

Originally established as a female Benedictine monastery in 889, the church underwent reconstruction in 1213 and received its final form in 1478.

The Bottigella Chapel within the church stored important relics and contained the Pala Bottigella artwork by Vincenzo Foppa with frescoes by Bernardino Lanzani.

The church building now serves as part of the University of Pavia, housing faculty offices and the Humanistic Studies library for academic purposes.

Built upon the foundations of a Roman thermal facility, the church functioned as the seat of the Inquisition in Pavia during the 14th century.
